Madame's Monday Update

Dear Jocelynne,

Mama put you down for a few minutes and returned to find this. Usually Kitty ignores you and once you are asleep comes and bugs me to get some loving. Looks like I will have to be more careful to close the door.

After a few melt down days and nights we have started a bed time routine of bath at 5.30 followed by dim lights no TV, or mama on the computer, calm voices, and quiet. for the past 5 nights you have been asleep by 6:30 and only wake for a 11pm feed and a 4am feed and both times you are straight back to sleep to wake for good at 7am. It seems to also have helped with your naps as well as. You are getting into a routine with when you like to take your naps but are flexible enough to sleep at home, in the push chair, car, or sling. I hope this is something you can keep up but we will see when you start teething and such.

I am so glad you are settling easier, you are so much happier when you wake up in the morning and we have a lazy 30 minutes in bed singing song and playing, it is such a joy.
